This year’s Joey Dunlop Foundation charity meal is at the Empress Hotel in Douglas and will be attended by a host of both established and up-and-coming road racers.
Among this year’s special guest speakers will be Lee Johnston, Ivan Lintin, James Cowton, Paul Shoesmith and, they hope, Peter Hickman, who has yet to confirm.
Joining them will be a number of Isle of Man-based riders too.
Joey Dunlop Foundation chairman Kevin Quirk said: ‘We are staying with last year’s theme which was The Young Pretenders.’
A highlight of the evening, as ever, will be the tombola prize draw for this year’s star prize which is a John McGuinness replica Padgett’s Honda CBR600 which has been fitted with a number of extras. An added attraction is the name of multiple TT winner Mr McGuinness as the first registered owner in the log book. During the evening, the bike which will be the subject of next year’s prize draw will be revealed.
Tickets for the meal, which are selling quickly, cost £35 each and are available from Mr Quirk at the JDF office on 677741
The meal takes place on January 10 next year.
